About this listing

The best location in Killarney. Twin bedroom & single room available. 10 minute walk to town. 15 min to bus/train. One local owner. Advice on the best walks and trips. Adjacent to the National park. Muckross House 4km. Torc Waterfall 6km.

Comfortable, home from home. Spacious twin bed room. Great location. Single room also available if you are 3 people travelling.

Guests may access all areas of the house. Sitting room and kitchen and garden. The kitchen is free for use for breakfast in the mornings and for occasional use later. I would ask guests to be mindful of using the kitchen/dining room in the evening as this is a space I use for meeting/entertaining family and friends. It is my home so we have to accommodate each other. This has never been a problem so far. The sitting room is a separate space with tv etc so there is always somewhere for people to relax. I am often away for a night or two so you may have the space to yourself also.

As much interaction as desired with host. Lots of local knowledge so feel free to ask any questions about travel or local amenities, what to do, what's best to do on a particular day depending on the weather etc.

From the front gate turn right for a ten minute walk to town (no exaggeration) or turn left to access the National Park. Muckross House 4km, Torc waterfall 6km.
Muckross Road is the gateway to the National Park.

There are 2 local buses - the shuttle bus which has a 3 day pass for €15 and visits all the local attractions and the Hop On/Hop Off bus which does similar. I'm walking distance from the bus/train station and will usually be free to pick you up if you text ahead. If you are walking the bus/train station is 15 min walk. Trips for the Ring of Kerry/Dingle,Slea Head/Gap of Dunloe trip can arranged easily. I can book in advance for you if you wish and you will be picked up at the door. Lots of bikes for rent locally too.

Check with me before planning an evening meal as this is my home and I need some private space for family and friends visiting. This has never been a problem so far. Mostly people are drawn to the many cafes and restaurants available in town.

Breeda just picked us up from the Bus station. Her house is so cozy and familiar also the rooms are. We had a great talk with Breeda about what we should see in Killarney. We highly recommend it and go there again! thanks Paul & Judith

We had a great time at Killarney and really appreciated Breeda's hospitality and welcome. Our room was comfortable and cosy and the house was in a great position to walk to the town centre and to access beautiful locations like Torc Waterfall and the National Park. Access to the Ring of Dingle and Ring of Kerry was also very easy from the house. Great location!
Breeda was very helpful and friendly, giving us lots of useful information, including helping us access a laundry service which picked up and delivered our laundry. Breakfast was included and was very welcome, especially during our last morning, when we had a very early start. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Killarney, with Breeda. Thank you so much Breeda for all your kindness and for making our visit to Killarney so memorable.

Communication with Breeda was good, fast and accurate. The location indeed is quite good too. Enough parking space. Allowed to make use of the kitchen.

The house is rather small. The room has just two beds, and there is a small bathroom. The kitchen isn't large either, but there is an adjacent room with a table and four chairs where you can enjoy your breakfast.

It was great meeting Breeda. Killarney is a lovely place surrounded by beautiful castles and landscapes. Breeda's house is in a great location; the room was in a quiet location; the house was clean and tidy; and she provided a full breakfast. Also, Breeda was extremely helpful and kind during our stay there. I highly recommend to stay with her, you will love her as you meet her.

Friendly host that provides a nice breakfast. Stayed in double room and there was plenty of space. Bathroom is shared and on the smaller side. Location is between town and national park, so very handy. However, it is right on a main road and there is quite a bit of road noise. There is no AC, so it's nice to have windows open, but you may need ear plugs.

About the Host, Breeda

I am a local Killarney woman but I have lived in different parts of Ireland and the world during my teaching career. I love the National Park and all the fabulous walks here. The town has everything you could possibly need and there is simply nowhere more beautiful to live. You can stroll to town to dine out or shop around or relax and browse the internet after a day out and about. If the weather is right the best thing to do is to get out in the boat on the lake to explore hidden Killarney. You will be most welcome here. Make yourself at home for your stay. I like to make the most of life's opportunities.
